Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Intelligent manufacturing is an advanced production mode which deeply integrates new-generation information technologies with advanced manufacturing technologies, aiming at enhancing the quality, efficiency and core competitiveness of the manufacturing industry. It has distinctive characteristics such as self-perception, self-decision-making, self-execution, self-adaptation and self-learning, and is implemented throughout all the links of manufacturing activities, such as design, production, management and service. With the development of smart manufacturing, many novel technologies are emerging, providing a strong technical support for improving the quality, efficiency and core competitiveness of the manufacturing industry. Therefore, in order to better understand and promote these technologies, this Special Issue, " Novel Technologies of Smart Manufacturing", is proposed. We seek high-quality works focusing on the latest technologies of smart manufacturing. Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Artificial intelligence in smart manufacturing
- Big data models in smart manufacturing
- Cloud/edge/fog computing in smart manufacturing
- Swarm intelligence in smart manufacturing
- Digital twins in smart manufacturing
- Human–machine collaboration in smart manufacturing
- Additive and subtractive hybrid manufacturing in smart manufacturing
- The development of smart manufacturing systems
Thank you, and we hope that you consider participating in this Special Issue.
Sincerely,
Dr. Yu Zhang
Prof. Dr. Jiewu Leng
